Fabulous news!

We had Addie's follow up MRI on Monday and then saw her neurosurgeon today. He is very pleased with how her head looks and said the scans look good. He pointed out her soft spot and told me that the way she looked today was a great baseline to use for future comparison of under or over drainage. We're released to go to Duke for her stem cell infusion. We discussed taking her on vacation in February or March and her doctor is fine with it, as long as we get a referral from him for a neurosurgeon in the area we are vacationing in, to have in case of emergency.

The best news .... we don't have to go back for THREE months!!! And we don't have to have another MRI done before her next appointment. Three months is as long as any hydro baby under one year old can go between appointments so this is as normal as we can get! So very thankful!

Welcome to Anything Can Be

This blog came to be after we found out our unborn daughter had fetal hydrocephalus at a 28 wk growth scan. It is my intention to share her journey with not just our friends and family, but with anyone that is experiencing the roller coaster ride that is hydrocephalus, be it congenital or acquired, newly diagnosed or long time hydro warrior. Please note that I am not a medical professional and any and all words are just the thoughts, opinions and experiences of a hydro mom.And despite what a large part of our world hydrocephalus is, there will be posts about our LIFE in general. We do try our hardest to not let hydrocephalus define our lives. Somedays we succeed more than others.Feel free to leave us some comment love! WE love comments around here! If you are a pregnant newly diagnosed hydro mom, I suggest you start at the oldest post and work your way forward. And feel free to contact me aimeechapman@gmail.com .Blessings ~Aimee
